New in 0.9.1: • Track recording: tap REC to record your trip while FishHogs is open, see your tracks on the map, and use Track Back to retrace your route. • Import and export tracks as GPX files. • Group chat: tap a shared marker or catch to see it on the map. • The map no longer shows "no coverage" warnings over land. • Fixes for large text sizes, Marine Radio MAYDAY, and the GPS warning when location is turned off.

• Group invites: every new group now starts with an invite, and you can show it as a full-screen QR code for crew to scan. • Live location sharing: a brief notice confirms sharing has started, then gets out of the way of your chart controls. Stop has an Undo. Sharing resumes only on the phone you turned it on from, and positions stay live even when a phone's clock is off. • Weak connection notice: an amber banner tells you when updates may be delayed on a marginal signal. • Marine Radio position readout: low-accuracy and out-of-date GPS fixes are now clearly flagged, so you know when to say "approximately" and check your chart. • Map callouts: buttons respond reliably and stay reachable on smaller screens and at large text sizes. • Larger text: Tackle Box, Markers, Catches and sign-in now work at the largest text size. • Groups: clearer messages when something goes wrong, member counts that stay current, and faster leaving. • Under the hood: upgraded to React Native 0.87 for better stability and performance.

Sharper depth and more honest offline behavior. - Depth contour lines every 10 ft, down to 160 ft — the second-generation bathymetry is now the standard chart and the standard download. - Oregon and Washington marine coverage is back. - Saves that haven't reached the server say so: "still sending" or "didn't send", and it survives a restart. - Group sharing, chat and crew actions report what actually happened on a weak signal: sent, queued, or failed. - The connection indicator no longer flickers on a marginal link. - Live position sharing recovers after a dead link, and crew-member ages all come from one clock. - Saving a marker without changes no longer erases its tide reading, and edits to shared markers and catches land in order. - Map callouts and lists stay readable at large text sizes. NOAA charts and GPS remain free and work without an account.

FishHogs 0.8.8 — Built for Weak Signal Offline charts - Updating an offline area checks everything it needs before touching your download. If the update can't finish, your existing charts stay put and keep working. - If an update can't start, the message tells you whether it's your connection or your subscription. - Offline Downloads tells you when Seafloor Relief is available for an area you downloaded earlier. - Drawing a download area stops at the maximum size instead of showing an error. The corner handles, on both the download box and the measure tool, are easier to grab. The maximum area per download is smaller than before. Markers and sync - Markers created without signal are kept even if the app is closed, and they sync automatically when you reconnect. - The app shows when you're offline. Crew - Chat shows when a message is still waiting to send, and marks saved messages while you're offline. - Messages written offline keep the time you wrote them. - A stopped boat's position keeps updating, and it greys out when its GPS stops reporting. - When a boat reconnects, its position jumps straight to where it is now. - Position sharing pauses while the app is in the background. - Stopping position sharing while offline takes effect once you reconnect, even if the app was closed. - Editing a marker or catch you've shared updates your crew's copy without announcing it again, and anything you've unshared stays unshared. - Creating a group without a connection fails right away with a clear message instead of hanging. Invite and code-redemption errors say what went wrong. Plus performance improvements and bug fixes.

Seafloor Relief 3D-style seabed shading that reveals the shape of the bottom — drop-offs, humps, channel edges — for premium subscribers, in select charted areas. Download a region and it works offline, like the rest of your charts. Update reminders A calm heads-up when a newer build is available, so you find out before anything stops working rather than after. Dismissible, and it never covers the chart. Group sharing — export The Group tab now exports the markers and catches your group shares, not just your own. Filenames and file contents agree on the date. Fixes • The safety depth contour now highlights correctly on charted areas. • Speed, course and distance now blank out when the GPS fix goes stale, instead of holding a stale reading that looks live. • The measurement readout no longer sits under the centre crosshair. • Depth readout no longer shows a placeholder value where no reading exists.

ON THE CHART Tap a marker callout to Inspect it — a read-only detail view, so there's no Delete sitting where you meant to tap. Shared markers and validation pins open the same way, and shared detail now shows the icon and colour the sender chose. Heading-up seats your boat low on the screen, putting more of the water ahead in view. The crosshair now steps aside while you're under way — pan the chart to bring it back. Course arrows account for map bearing, so they agree with the predictor no matter which way the chart is turned. You can stop navigation straight from the instruments cluster, and a deleted marker no longer leaves you navigating to nothing. Navigation lines are straight-line only, and the app now says so once, up front. The offline download box is sized from the map you're actually looking at, rather than a fixed span — zoom in for a smaller download, out for a wider one. CATCHES Log the depth along with your catch. It pre-fills from the charted depth under the pin and stays editable, so it's right when the chart isn't. Every catch now shows where it sat against the nearest tide change, and the tide reads in plain language — rising and falling for height, incoming and outgoing for current. Share a catch and the tide and depth travel with it. The app no longer pre-fills a catch position from a GPS fix too weak to trust, and an edited marker coordinate now actually saves. GROUPS A shared position shows speed and course, not just a dot. Your groups appear straight away from cache while they refresh, and a share that hits a slow connection queues instead of failing. REFERENCE Pinch-zoom, pan and reset-to-fit on species photos for a closer look. Marine VHF and GMRS guidance are now a single two-tab reference, offline as always. ALSO Bottom tab labels reflow instead of clipping at large text sizes, and subscribers no longer start the ads engine at all.

Alaska Field Feedback This release comes straight from on-the-water testing in Southeast Alaska. • Share a marker or catch from any list — your group hears about it in chat • Log a halibut's length and get an estimated weight • Current curves now draw at far more stations, including subordinate ones • Dungeness and Tanner crab added to the Fish ID guide, with male/female identification • Map callouts stay responsive with many pins on screen • Fixes for editing a catch's location and for group copies going stale Thanks to everyone we've met in Petersburg for helping test the app.

CONDITIONS — ONE TIMELINE FOR TIDE AND CURRENT Tide and current now share a single scrubbable timeline. Drag to any time and read both against the same axis instead of comparing two charts, and fishing windows are now derived from real current speed rather than inferred from the tide's slope. GROUP CHAT Open your group's chat in one tap from the chart. Messages you send without signal now clearly read as queued rather than stuck sending, and the thread keeps itself up to date more reliably when you come back into coverage. ON THE WATER The screen stays awake while you're on the chart, so it won't sleep on you mid-run, and your own boat now shows a heading arrow when under way. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE • Depth shading and contours no longer disappear when you zoom in • Marker and catch shares queue offline instead of hanging • "+" on Markers and Catches adds at your current location • Group catches open a detail view with time and catch information • Saved documents tell you when a file is missing instead of loading forever

Conditions follow the station, not your phone Tide planner, weather strip and currents all read in the station's own time zone now, labelled whenever that differs from yours. Before this they disagreed with each other, which is worse than being wrong consistently — there was no way to know which one to trust. Day grouping and the month title follow the station's day too, so a tide just after local midnight files under the right date. Un-sharing works offline Retracting a marker or catch you had shared used to wait silently for a server that wasn't there. The row disappeared from your phone, so it looked done — while your crew could still see it. It now queues properly and tells you: "Will remove when you're back online." When you reconnect, it actually leaves the group. Light mode reaches the last corners The group screens, the sign-in sheet, and the create-and-edit form for markers and catches ignored your Appearance setting and stayed dark. They follow it now. The catch form matters most: it is the screen you use outdoors, in the sun, where light mode is not a preference. Tide times near Eastport read Eastern Two Maine stations close to the Canadian border — Eastport and Passamaquoddy Bay — had been assigned Atlantic Time, so their predictions ran an hour late. Fixed, along with nine current stations in the same waters. Also in this release The un-share button on group feeds, and the offline mark on the sync indicator, were rendering as empty boxes. Both show properly now — which is very likely why un-sharing seemed impossible to find. Your boat marker is drawn natively, so the chart does considerably less work on every GPS fix.

Save shared spots to your own markers When someone in your group shares a marker, you can now save it into My Markers as your own copy. It stays with you even if you leave the group, and it remembers who shared it and where. If you already had a marker on that spot, the two are linked rather than duplicated — so you see one pin, not two stacked on top of each other. 20 new rockfish photographs in the Fish ID guide The Southeast Alaska guide gains 20 photographs, used with the kind permission of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Several species that had no photograph at all now have one, and yelloweye rockfish now shows a juvenile alongside the adult — they look very different, and telling them apart matters. As always, the guide and its photos download with your offline regions and work with no signal. Support is easier to find Support and Send Feedback now sit at the top of Settings, rather than partway down.

Finishing the crosshair, and recording the tide with your catches. CROSSHAIR One control at the reticle does both jobs now: with nothing under it, add a marker or log a catch right where you're aiming. With one of your own marks under it, inspect it without hunting for the pin. Your markers and catches are named on every chart mode — including NOAA, and on free accounts. The reticle also grabs what you're actually pointing at, at any zoom. Below the usable depth zoom it simply steps aside instead of asking you to zoom in. TIDE WITH YOUR CATCHES Every catch you log now records the tide — height, datum, stage, and the station it came from — sampled at the moment of the catch rather than the moment you look at it. You see it on the form before you save and on the catch card afterwards, from the same source. Where there's no station in range, it says so. A blank reading is never shown as a real one. CONDITIONS IN LANDSCAPE Tides, currents and weather read beside the chart instead of covering it. CLEANER CHARTS Symbols thin by category at wide zoom so hazards and aids stay readable, and the app tells you when it's thinning rather than quietly dropping them. ALSO Deleting a group now really deletes it — roster, shared markers, catches and chat. Plus contrast fixes in light mode and steadier chart loading.
